                 Configures the database environment's intermediate directory permissions. 
            </p>
      <p>
                 The syntax of this parameter in the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is a
                 single line with the string
                 <code class="literal">set_intermediate_dir_mode</code>, one or more
                 whitespace characters, and the directory permissions.
             </p>
      <p>
                 Directory permissions are interpreted as a string of nine
                 characters, using the character set 
                 <span class="bold"><strong>r</strong></span> (read), 
                 <span class="bold"><strong>w</strong></span> (write), 
                 <span class="bold"><strong>x</strong></span> (execute or search), and
                 <span class="bold"><strong>-</strong></span> (none).  The first
                 character is the read permissions for the directory owner
                 (set to either <span class="bold"><strong>r</strong></span> or
                 <span class="bold"><strong>-</strong></span>). The second character
                 is the write permissions for the directory owner (set to
                 either <span class="bold"><strong>w</strong></span> or 
                 <span class="bold"><strong>-</strong></span>). The third character is the
                 execute permissions for the directory owner (set to either
                 <span class="bold"><strong>x</strong></span> or 
                 <span class="bold"><strong>-</strong></span>).
             </p>
      <p>
                  Similarly, the second set of three characters are the read, write and
                  execute/search permissions for the directory group, and the third set
                  of three characters are the read, write and execute/search permissions
                  for all others.  For example, the string <span class="bold"><strong>rwx------</strong></span> would configure read, write and
                  execute/search access for the owner only.  The string <span class="bold"><strong>rwxrwx---</strong></span> would configure read, write and
                  execute/search access for both the owner and the group.  The string
                  <span class="bold"><strong>rwxr-----</strong></span> would configure read, write
                  and execute/search access for the directory owner and read-only access
                  for the directory group.
